Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expectedin a cosmic religion for the future:It transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology;it covers both the natural and the spiritual,and it is based on a religious senseaspiring from the experience of all things,natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.- Albert Einstein

In many ways, it is easier to be a good giver than a good receiver.The giver chooses the gift and the timing.More important, societal and religious traditionstend to elevate the status of giver and lower the status of receiver.When the Bible (Acts 20:32-35) speaks of it beingmore blessed to give than to receive,I believe that a better translation might be"take" rather than "receive," as the contextof that passage is "coveting."Certainly there is nothing blessed about coveting,stealing, begging, or demanding,however the skill of graciously receiving a freely offered giftis another matter entirely.- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

From the way most people live,one would never guess that humans are beings of free will.Repetition can be a choice, but often it isn't.The athlete or pianist who practices the same routineday after day, year after year, has their eye on a goal.The unending repetition is a conscious choicein the pursuit of a life dream.But what about the sameness of most lives?Observe the morning commute, the after-work drink,the Sunday football game or religious service -how many of those people are consciously following their dream,training their mind, body, and spirit through that daily repetition?And how many are mindlessly slogging through each dayout of habit and boredom?- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Everyone has an opinion on many subjectsand is ready to share those opinions -labeling them as "truth."Sometimes it is relatively easyto filter out these opinions.Upon hearing an ad for the latestweight-loss powder on late-night TV,our skepticism leaps to our defense.However, if we have heard the same opinion for yearsfrom our parents, friends,government officials, or religious leaders,we are more likely to believe without questioningthan to raise our filter of skepticismand ask the hard questions.- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
